At curiosity where are you purchasing this computer and what brand is it. I mean is your parents giving you a money limit on the computer your buying. Any processor after 2.6 GHz I can't really tell much of a difference. An Intel based processor will do you alot better as their dual cores push alot better then the AMD and if you really want better then 2.6 GHz, that processor I think overclocks to 3.2 GHz.
